Default setting for DIP Switches is “OFF (Disable)” position. DIP 1: LLB – Local Loopback Enable or Disable at copper port. The Local Loopback function is used to check if the copper segment is functioning properly. The default setting for LLB is Disable. Turn the switch setting Enable to perform the Local Loopback function test. Fig: Local Loopback (LLB) Note: Enabling the LLB function means, the converter’s normal function will be stopped. DIP 2: RLB – Remote Loopback Enable or Disable at fiber port. The Remote Loopback function is used to 11 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter check if the fiber segment is functioning properly at remote site. The default setting for RLB is Disable. Turn the remote switch’s setting Enable to perform the Remote Loopback function test, but disable the LLB and RLB at the converter attached locally. Note: Enabling the RLB function means, the converter’s normal function will be stopped. Fig: Remote Loopback (RLB) NOTE: While performing Loopback test, either Remote or Local, it is recommended to test with more than 50% of full loaded traffic so LED indicator can work better. The lesser traffic will affect the LED’s brightness. 12 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter 1000BASE-T Port The 1000BASE-T port supports network speed of 1000Mbps, and operates in full-duplex transfer mode. This port also offers automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection that gives true "plug and play" capability - just plug-in the network cable to the port and the port will adjust according to end node device. The RJ-45 connector is suitable for UTP cable Category 5. 1000BASE-SX/LX Port The 1000BASE-SX/LX port adds a fiber Gigabit Ethernet link to your network device. Compliant with IEEE 802.3z, this port transmits data at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode across distances of up to 220m over multi-mode fiberoptic cable. The fiber port has support with a choice of fiber connector types SC and WDM. 13 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter Installation Note: The devices attached to each port can be connected and operating in any sequence, but the factory recommended procedure is as follows: 1.

Apply AC power to the Converter. (The green PWR LED on the rear panel should light). 4. Connect cables from the network partner devices to the ports on the front panel. (The green LNK LED on the front panel associated with the port should light). 14 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter This converter can also be mounted on a vertical surface. Simply use the underside of the unit as a template to measure and mark out the position of the holes on to the surface where the unit is to be installed. Then use the two screws provided to mount the converter firmly in place. Warning Please exercise caution when using power tools. Also, install this unit away from damp or wet locations, or in close proximity to very hot surfaces. These types of environments can have a detrimental effect on the converter and cables. An ideal location is a lightly cooled place such as a typical equipment room. 15 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter Powering On Unit The Converter uses external power supply 12V DC at 0.8A, frequency 50~60 Hz. 1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located at the back of the device. 2. Plug the power adapter into an available socket. 3. Check the rear-panel LED as the device is powered on to verify that the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly and securely plugged in. Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC power adapter cord. You must use a power cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type and electrical current in your country. 16 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter Connecting Fiber Cable When connecting fiber cable to a 1000BASE-FX port on the Converter, be sure the correct type – SC or WDM connector is used. Follow the steps below to properly connect fiber cabling: 1. Remove and keep the fiber port's rubber cover. When not connected to a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the fiber optics. 2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber optic cables will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and lead to degraded performance on the port. 3. Connect one end of the cable to the SC/WDM port on the Converter and the other end to the SC/WDM port on the other device. 4. Check the corresponding port LED on the Converter to ensure that the connection is valid. (Refer to the LED chart in next section) Note: When inserting the cable, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. 17 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the fiber port when no cable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into the open apertures. 18 1000Base-T to 1000Base-SX/LX Converter Connecting Copper Cable The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port fully supports autosensing and auto-negotiation. 1.
